There are many variables that should be considered – and here is another instance of dealing with reputable, licensed and insured professionals to assess your situation.

How old are your eavestroughs? If they are more than 20 years old they are most likely going to need to be replaced. What material are your eaves made of, and are they seamless? If they are vinyl or plastic you will probably need to replace them. If they aren’t seamless and are made up of multiple 10-foot sections seamed and sealed together, they will probably be leaking and need to be replaced.

Sealing the eavestroughs at the corners and end caps the first time is very important and something Adorn Home Improvements takes the extra time and detail in preparing. Once you experience a leak it’s almost impossible to get it to stop; getting it right the first time is vital to an extended life of your eavestroughs.

Customers often complain that their gutters aren’t that old. If water and thawing snow and ice don’t drain properly, can that be fixed? Most times, yes. Back in the day, gutters were fixed to the fascia by long, smooth nails. Removing those spikes without damaging the trough is impossible. If your eavestrough is “spiked” and you don’t want to replace it but you don’t want it to hold water either, an additional downspout might be feasible, added to the lowest part of the trough where the water is pooling.
